    CHER 35th Annual Conference

    Higher Education Institutions as Change Agents in Society: Perspectives on Adaptation and Impact

    Veranstalter: Institute for Higher Education Management WU - Vienna University of Economics and Business, Vienna, Austria

    The changing role of higher education insti­tu­ti­ons (HEIs) in society has become a point of reference among policy makers, uni­ver­si­ty leaders and the academic community across the world. Being among the oldest insti­tu­ti­ons to date, uni­ver­si­ties have always been subject to changes in their insti­tu­tio­nal envi­ron­ments. In the 21st century, however, these changes have become more rapid and dis­rup­ti­ve. Societies are not only con­fron­ted with mul­ti­face­ted chal­lenges related to sus­taina­bi­li­ty, tech­no­lo­gy, social dis­pa­ri­ties and geo­po­li­ti­cal tensions, but also a situation of crisis resulting from a global pandemic, war, energy shortages and inflation.

    CALL FOR PROPOSALS
    The con­fe­rence will have five tracks.  More infor­ma­ti­on is available on the con­fe­rence website. Applicants are invited to submit a proposal for a paper, a poster or a panel on a topic that is relevant to the con­fe­rence theme.

    7th Crossing Boundaries Conference

    Learning Across Continents: Conversations in a divided world

    VETNET

    Topics:

    • How do we understand the role of VET in preparing young people for work when labour markets and workplaces are in flux nationally and internationally?
    • Is this changing the nature of VET and VET curricula? Is it raising new questions on work, labour markets and education? What is core to VET that is stable across different contexts?
    • Are systems looking more similar or more different from each other?
    • What are the main factors—such as workplace organisation, changing labour markets, changing enrolment in schools and universities, and the nature of economies that are influencing different aspects of VET provision—such as curriculum, governance, partnerships, enrollment patterns—in different countries?
    • How do we connect better as researchers, and use VET research to build connection?
